  $cookie->name;                                # get
  $cookie->name('my_cookie');                   # set
   
  @value = $cookie->value;                      # for multiple values
  $value = $cookie->value;                      # array ref or simple scalar
  $cookie->value($simple_scalar);
  $cookie->value([ "one", "2", "III" ]);

  $cookie->secure;
  
  $cookie->as_string;                           # returns the cookie formatted

DESCRIPTION

This class is almost identical to the original the CGI::Cookie manpage, except in that it doesn't require the Cursed Gateway Interface (CGI.pm) to function, instead it uses only methods provided by the CGI::Lite manpage - a module which lives up to its name.
